Heated the tires a little, and came of the clutch a little slow while squeezing the throttle. Difficult to expalin, easier to demonstrate. Find me at the track and I'll show you.

Congrats on a great run yesterday. Looks as if there is more than "one shop" in NJ that knows how to tune Corvettes to go fast.

Chris that is a tremedous job driving.

I saw Barry and he was extactic about your runs.

Those headers are doing the job for you.

Thanks Edgar!!

Now if I could just remember that I was bracket racing yesterday and to pay attention to the tree, I just may have a good season!

In case you didn't know, I red-lighted by .100 first round...what a way to go....

A lot of people were red lighting yesterday including me. I think the new surface at Etown which offers more traction is playing a roll. I red lighted in my second eliminator which I'm still kicking my self for.

Thanks everyone

As you said, the QTP headers are really doing the trick!!! I feel the difference from 2600 all the way to redline. In fact, on my first run, I hit the limiter in 1st and 2nd because the car got there WAY FASTER than I expected.


Thanks to Barry and QTP for putting out some AWESOME headers!!
